𝐂𝐋𝐈𝐈. I'm sitting here thinking about Khaenri'ah things™ and how multidisciplinary that kingdom was for millennia, touching on expertises such us:

✦ Academics concerning both Teyvat and what they must've discovered in their pursuit of the Abyss all the way down below the bowels of the world, going as far as touching onto knowledge concerning the Archons, which was branded as "forbidden". Highly likely to think that the Universitas Magistrorum is comparable to the Akademeia in terms of knowledge it manages.

✧ Military. Segregated outside Khaenri'ah partly as spies (as seen as least in Sumeru, who knows if in other nations too) and inside the kingdom by differing them from those who take care of royal matters and those who do the rest.

✦ Creation of automatons. While still part of the military, this deserves its own field given the vast options of machines they have created, some of which I wager help do mundane things within the kingdom.

✧ Alchemy —Khemia—. This is a huge field in and of itself, granted that it's what allowed them to reproduce life that would later on become a source of nourishment for the population, granted that where they live and highly likely by proximity to the Abyss, no natural life (flora or fauna except for Inteyvats) grew by itself. Includes ambitious projects such as the one Albedo describes of human creation as the peak of the opus magnum of Khemia.

✦ Abyss. I'd dare to say that this became a religion in itself, ironic that many of the Khaenri'ahns went from repudiating gods to worshipping something else in their stead. But that aside, while I have no doubt that those who were filled with obsessions might master any of the aforementioned fields and be part of this, I am going to include those into esoteric arts that were already able to summon rifthounds as teased in Khvarena of Good and Evil. I would say that these are a group of people, quite numerous, but which kept things under wraps and that the society was divided between those who had nothing to do with the Abyss dealings and those who did.
